Bedlam (Young Sherlock Holmes #3.5)
by
Andy Lane
Sherlock has been incarcerated in the Bethlehem Hospital – Bedlam - where Victorian London’s most unfortunate citizens are locked away in squalor, cruelty and hopelessness. Sherlock tells them he’s not mad – but who’d believe a lunatic? There’s only one option: he has to escape – and then use all his rational powers to work out who put him there in the first place . . .

At first, this started out incredibly slow, like the story was fluffed up to try to make it bigger. I imagine the beginning needed to have stuff added to it to make it stand on its own once removed from the 3rd book.
I would have loved for this to have been turned into a novel. So much potential to be fleshed out. Really, Sherlock should have waited a day to see the routine of the guards before wasting his possible single escape attempt.

I picked this up before I started reading this series because I had intended to start with this one to see if the Young Sherlock Holmes series was worth reading. When I read a bit more about this Novella it was said that this was to be a part of the third book. I decided to wait a bit and start Death Could first so I could know any recurring characters.

The first in the series that I have read. I know it is a book aimed at children but I love stories with Sherlock Holmes so thought I would give this Short Read a go.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not a huge amount happens, but it is a SHORT read so I will look forward to one of the longer novels.
You will all be surprised to hear that Sherlock is declared insane in this book. Or is he...?

A little bit disappointing, this book certainly does not explore the full range of the Sherlock Holmes character.
There is a note from the author saying that this short story is basically a section dropped from the main serious of books - it's not hard to see why.

A nice short story to compliment the series! Plus an interesting look to the ideas surrounding mental health in young Sherlock's time! Loved seeing him solve a small plot at the assylum before Aymus came to get him.
